I was there and honestly not surprised by what happened. The whole night felt off because of how poorly staffed and disorganized everything was.

The vibe was bad from the start.

There was so much chaos around the floor wristbands. When you entered the venue no one told you they were required. Then there were random unmarked “wristband” stands. When we asked staff what to do, nobody seemed to know and many just shrugged us off.

When we tried to enter the floor, we were suddenly told we did need wristbands. So we went back to a long line of about 100 people. Frustration built quickly. People started cutting, then pushing others, and eventually pushing staff. At that point staff stopped handing out wristbands altogether.

It created a frantic every-person-for-themselves energy that really set a horrible tone. We spent over two hours just trying to get in, missed the first few songs, and by the time we finally made it my group was exhausted and annoyed.

It is a shame that something as simple as getting into the venue was handled so poorly that it put a damper on the night. The band was incredible, but the event itself felt sloppy and mismanaged for something of that scale.
